Lionel Shriver's "Double Fault".
an insightful, wrenching and intense book of reflection.
as a competitive badminton player, i would understand.
Yet a good player hits with the illusion of making no decisions at all. Compacted into a split second, all that geometry, game memory and espionage condensed into gut, spontaneous instinct.


yet another creative-streak challenge.
though unrequired, novelty remains appreciated.
those who settle, see no improvement.
those who stretch, a bestowed breakthrough.


You laid aside your majesty.
gave up everything for me.
suffered at the hands of those You have created.
You took away my guilt and shame.
when You died and rose again.
now today You reign in heaven and earth exalted.


i really wanna worship You, my Lord.
You have won my heart and i am Yours.
forever and ever, i will love You.
You're the only one who died for me.
gave Your life to set me free.
so i lift my voice to You in adoration.


twas grace that taught my heart to fear
and grace my fears relieved
how precious did that grace appear
the hour i first believed.
